Kishin Douji Zenki's Timelines/Manga (prototype)

This subpage is about the second timeline of the Kishin Douji Zenki series.

It centers on Volume 5 Chapter 9 from the Kishin Douji Zenki manga, which goes by the title of "Kishin Douji Zenki" (aka "Demon God Child Zenki").

In the original version of the manga, it goes by the Kanji / Romaji and Furigana writings of 鬼神童子 ZENKI and きしん どうじ ゼンキ respectively. This chapter is especially notable as it not only features Yoshihiro Kuroiwa's original idea for the series, that was scrapped and reused only for this chapter, but also the series' title itself as its chapter title.

Manga (prototype)


The prototype of the Kishin Douji Zenki manga is the very first installment of the Kishin Douji Zenki series.

It consists of a single chapter, that has been officially released as a bonus chapter in Volume 5 of the final manga.

In this chapter, there is an alternate version of Chiaki, who is the decendant a legendary onmyōdō (mixture of a cosmologist, natural scientist and occultist) called Abe Seimei.

When she walks down the street on the way to school, she stumbles upon a book containing Ozunu Enno's writings and a football-sized orb with the Bracelet of Protection embedded in it.

She reads in Ozunu's book and ends up not only gaining access to the bracelet, but also ends up freeing Chibi Zenki.

This Chibi Zenki is curious about the human, that freed him and is confused when Chiaki gets scared of him. He soon walks off and wanders the skyscrapers of the city.

When a photograph is turned into the first Hyouijuu by being transformed by a Hyouinomi and seals people in his photographs, Chiaki gets scared and called for help.

Chibi Zenki appears and she frees him from his seals when he tells her, that he can take on the beast.

He becomes an early version of Kishin Zenki (dubbed "Pentagram Zenki" on this wiki), that looks like a mixture of Chibi Zenki and Kishin Zenki's final design.

This Pentagram Zenki, though, is as powerful as Cho Kishin Zenki from the final version, as he easily beats the Hyouijuu and frees his victims.

When Chiaki shows him the photgraphs and asks him about them, Zenki tells her, that they will return to normal now that he has defeated the foe.

Shortly after this, the chapter ends.
